Work Shown:
Inverse variation equations can be written in the form x*y = k for some fixed number k. Let's plug in the first point (x,y) = (1.6, 6) to compute the value of k
x*y = k
1.6*6 = k
9.6 = k
k = 9.6
Therefore the equation updates to
x*y = 9.6
Plug in x = 8 and solve for y
x*y = 9.6
8*y = 9.6
y = 9.6/8 .... divide both sides by 8
y = 1.2
